Automatic Cloud Project Onboarding

Automatic Cloud Project Onboarding automatically detects and adds newly created GCP projects to Sysdig that are in an active state without manual intervention. This capability keeps your cloud environment up-to-date, and you can enable or disable it at any time using the UI or Terraform.

Newly created GCP projects are automatically detected and onboarded within 24 hours.

Automatic Cloud Project Onboarding


Automatic Cloud Project Onboarding enhances the GCP onboarding experience. This functionality:

  • Allows you to selectively enable or disable this behavior using the UI or Terraform.
  • Provides visibility into newly added projects without any additional setup required.

This capability reflects the dynamic nature of modern cloud environments and reduces the manual overhead required to maintain up-to-date infrastructure visibility.

Prerequisites

  • GCP organization or folder-level access with the required permissions
  • Sysdig Secure account with organization admin rights

Automatic Cloud Project Onboarding Steps

The following steps outline the process for automatic GCP project onboarding:

  1. Log in to Sysdig Secure.
  2. Go to Integrations > GCP.
  3. Click Add GCP Account.
  4. Select Organization.
  5. In the step Projects to Onboard, you will see Automatic Onboarding & Offboarding enabled by default.

When you deploy Terraform, you will notice enable_automatic_onboarding = true in the snippet.

Verifying Automatic Cloud Project Onboarding

Once you have completed onboarding of your organization, you can go ahead and create additional projects within the selected GCP folders or organization.

Any newly created GCP projects that are in active state will be automatically detected and onboarded. You can verify this through Integrations > Cloud Accounts > GCP. The new projects will be listed and the status should show as Connected.

For example, the following image shows a newly onboarded project:
